Miss Langford’s reel

A single reel I’m getting to know and love. I like to follow it with Bonny Kate. Frankie Gavin performs a more elaborate version on his "Fierce Traditional" cd, and partners the tune in this instance with The Tailor’s Thimble.

Frankie Gavin also recorded this with "De Danann" on the "Star Spangled Molly" LP. On that recording it was called "Morrison’s" - presumably James of that ilk.

I got a version of this from Bobby Casey and Joe Ryan durign the early nineties and identified it at some point as Miss Longford. It has now appeared on Aoibhinn Crónán as The Lass of Carracastle and attributed to the pen of Paddy Sweeney.

It’s not the Lass of Carracastle posted on this site by the way.

Caoimhin O Raghallaigh and Mick O’Brien do a great job on this tune under the name of Miss Longford. A good set is Miss Longford, the Morning Dew, and the Geese in the Bog.

2 reels followed by a jig ?

Lad O Beirne’s reel version of the tune Kenny.

I wish someone would post sheetmusic closer to the version played by Caoimhin O Raghallaigh and Mick O’Brien . I am not much good at playing by ear.

The version played by Caoimhin O Raghallaigh and Mick O’Brien is actually closer to the Lass of Carracastle.

There’s a version of this on the Jesse Smith, Sean Gavin & John Blake album, Music from the Lost Continent. They play it in F major instead, and it sounds great.

Don’t know how I forgot about this………………….. referred to above 13 years ago :
